A NARROW ESCAPE.

Dr. Mackenzie Saves the German Crown
Prince from a Dangerous Operation.
PAN Mail Gazette
Few people are fully aware of the probable, if
not certain. catastrophe which has been averted
by DIR. Mackenzie's sudden trip to Berlin, and
of the narrow shave which the Crown Prince
has really had. mainly in consequence of the
loss of cipher. The Crown Princess seems to
have telegraphed to Her Majesty in cipher to
sond DR.. Mackenzie. The Queen had misaid
the key and fuller message had to be sent.
Some time consequently elapsed before DR..
Mackenzie received his commands. On his
arrival at Berlin he found Professor Bergman
and six other medical preparing. with the
aged Emperor's full approval, to perform the
terrible operation of thyrotomy-not trache-
otomy, as the French papers have it-for the sup
posed cancer. The operation is usually fatal;
and as it involves the severng of the thyroid
cartilage it invariably deprives the pa
tient of his voice, it did in the
case of the welI-known barrster Montagu
Williams. The doctors were willing defer
to our English specialist, but doubted the
possibility of removing portion of the growth
so far down the throat However in few
onds, operating by means of a reflection IN a
looking. glass, DR.. Mackenzie had the good
fortune to bring away two-thirds of it. The
analysis by Professor Virchow proved that there
was cancer, and the Crown Prince was not
only saved the operation but is. moreover, much
cheered by the prospect of ultimate recovery,
which will not improbably take place under DR.
Macksnzie's own auspices. DR.. Mackenzie will
leave England at early date on his second
visit to the Crown Prince. After absence of
nine days during which time much honor was
conferred upon the whole of the English medi-
cal profession in the person of Dr. Morrei Mac
kenZie, two palaces and country residence
az Potsdam being placed at his disposal, and the
greatest friendliness and courtesy being shown
to him by every one of the royal family, DIR.
Mackenzie reached town on Friday. On Satur-
day he was sent for by the Prince of Wales,
with whom he remained at Marlborough House
for about half an hour. The Prince made the
most minute and anxious inquiry about his
brother in law.

THE AFGHAN FRONTIER.

Russian Troops in the Disputed Territory
English Interference Absolutely Necessary.

LONDON June 1.-The recall from ST. Peters

derstood to have been decided upon for the pur-
pose of receiving from him personally an ex-
PLANTATION of the extraordinary activity Of Rus

the government has been advised, through its
agents. that Russian military movements a

being executed in the disputed portions well

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PARIS, June There having been no session
of the Chamber of Deputies to-day, the new
Ministers breathed free and could confidently
predict for themselves tenure of Office extend
ing over further period of twenty y-four hours
They are not to lie upon a bed of roses during
the next three days, however, and it would sur
prise nobody to see NJ. Rouvier place their resig-
nations in the hands of President Grevy before
Saturday. NJ. Clemenceau is awaiting an oppor-
tunity to strangle the life out of the
new government, and it is conceded all sides
that he will not have to wait long. If the Cabi-
net does not fall to pieces through lack of self
confidence. it will certainly come to grief on the
budget the question of the compulsory mill
tary service of seminarsts.

givings for its stability, and predict that its de-

posed by General Ferron, will result in it's over

Boulangers address follows:
"Officers, Non commissioned Officers and Sol
diers-The Cabinet to which belonged having
resigned, the President of the republic has placed
the Ministry in other hands. On taking my
leave of the command OF the army, desire to
offer my thanks to all who have supported my
efforts in the patriotic task undertook of put
ting the means of defense of the country in such
a condition as to be proof against any emer
gency. You will be. under the orders of my
successor, what you were under mne-devoted
your professional duties and faithful to con-
stitutional laws-respect for which should. in
our hearts, dominate all other sentiments.
General Fsrron, who takes General Boulan-
gers place in the Ministry. commanded the
Thirteenth division Infantry of rhe Seventh

Press comments indicate that in the left
groups there $50 Deputies solid against Itou-
vier: therefore he will be unable to increase his
Republican majority of eleven. and any measure
that would ALLEVIATE the support of the Right
would make the Cabinets existence precarious.
